Yousel 2 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hello guys, first of all thank you for that nice new Frankfurt scenery. Just one question, is it just me or do other guys have the same problem that the aircraft is parking too far away from the gates? Thanks for your answers.

data63 421 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 may you give some examples (aircraft type, gate) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptless 30 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm having the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Dameron 95 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Do you mean AI aircraft or your own aircraft?(which shouldn't be the case since you have full control over it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptless 30 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Of my own aircraft and there's no association with having full control over it. It is simply the AFCAD file which is (for me) not correct. That leads to a incorrect position of the aircraft when spawning for example at a gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data63 421 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 the default position far an aircraft is the center of the aircraft in the center of the parking spot. If you park an A320 (36m) on a spot suitable for an A380 (80m) the A320 will be to far away from the gate. As EDDF has lots of large gates, the chances of a "small plane" at a "large spot" are quite high. That's a shortcomming of FSX/P3D and something we have to live with. as said above some examples would be helpful to verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yousel 2 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 As example gate A16. I get spawned around 12m behind the normal stoppoint. No problem to taxi forward , but if I taxi to the normal position my ground service program doesnt recognize that I am at a parking position because I am too far away from the "normal" stoppoint.

data63 421 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm not at my FS-PC now - but from the groundchart I guess A16 is a 31-33m AFCAD position (A330/B744) I'll check tomorrow and read back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May you should ask the providor of your "ground service prgramm", why he keep the regonize so small. At A16 a 340-600 is possible and a A320, they have a big diffenence in size. When the center of the Gate is too far forward, the 340 will end in the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted May 25, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 25, 2016 That's why AES allows you a correct re-positioning of the aircraft: in this case a "small" A319: Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egbert Drenth 52 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I had a simular experience tonight (too far from gate) with PMDG 738 at A21 In P3D V3.2 that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
data63 421 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 A21 also looks like a "heavy" gate - designed for A330/B744 (31-33m) - used by B738 (18m) like parking a mini in the center of a bigtruck parking spot just check your AFCAD and see youselve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
